Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 374
2000 was the turn of the century and the seventh year since the launch of the Chinese professional league. After six years of continuous development, the Chinese league finally ushered in a glorious period, with excellent records in the Asian arena, four superstars Joining the A-A team respectively has brought a very high sensational effect to the A-A league in the world. Faced with this excellent situation, the Football Association will not be idle.

Before the start of Haigeng spring training, the Football Association announced three new decisions. The first is to reduce the number of foreign players from five to four, and at the same time, these four foreign players can play at the same time. This news was actually announced last year. Last year was used as a buffer period, so the clubs began to revise their transfer and foreign aid policies as early as last year, and this decision was implemented smoothly.

The second decision is that from the beginning of this year's league, each team must have a local player under the age of 21 in each round of the league. This is to allow young players to be better trained. On the other hand, it has been prepared to do this for a long time, but in the past few years, young domestic players have not been picked up. Such a rigid rule will only make the league less enjoyable, and now the echelon facilities of various clubs have begun to see results, so although this rule Some clubs were dissatisfied, but most clubs still accepted this rule.

As for the third regulation, it is a very long-term regulation-two years later, A A will expand its army again, from fourteen teams to sixteen, and A B team will also expand to ten teams correspondingly. Six teams. At the same time, the scale of the second division league will also expand. The country is divided into six competition areas. Every year, participating teams play home and away games in each competition area. The top two enter the final finals. There are twelve teams in the finals. Divide into two groups to play a round-robin match, and then play a single round-robin match after the top four are determined.

In this way, every year the teams from AA and AB will play [-] league games, and if the second-tier teams can reach the finals, they can also play more than ten or twenty games, and the opportunities for training will greatly increase. , At the same time, the Football Association also opened up the qualifications for the Football Association Cup. As long as the second-tier leagues sign up, they can participate in the Football Association Cup. There is an elimination system, and which team's home game is played is determined by drawing lots at the same time as the opposing sides come out.

The promulgation of this regulation means that in the future, even the second-tier teams will have to enter the standardization-the home and away game system in the divisional league determines that the second-tier teams must also have their own home courts, which means that dozens of numbers will be drawn casually. People, the days when you can play in the second division just by registering with the Football Association are gone.

However, this news did not attract much attention in the already concentrated Haigeng, firstly because this matter is still relatively far away, and secondly because the spring training in Haigeng is all first-tier teams, and they have already embarked on Those who are on the right track don't care about this regulation.

****************************************
Haigeng in February is very lively.

Although the national players of each team were not in the team, they were drawn to the national team to play friendly matches to prepare for the Asian Cup, and the members of the Olympic team also gathered to prepare for the Olympics, but after gathering 28 first-tier teams, Haigeng is still very popular.

In the current Haigeng spring training, the so-called physical fitness test is basically meaningless. After actively learning the advanced European physical fitness training methods, the clubs have long since had no fear of the original physical fitness test. They also know that , Strengthening the physical training of players is fundamentally a guarantee for the performance of the league, and they can consciously abide by it without the rigid rules of the Football Association. At least in the past few years, national teams at all levels have rarely had physical problems. The grading system of the test, those older players don't need to worry about it, that is to say, the biggest purpose of the Football Association's arrangement of spring training in the past-strengthening physical fitness has completely disappeared.

However, the Football Association does not intend to cancel the spring training, and even because of the expansion of the league, it plans to use part of the funds to expand the Haigeng base, adding six to eight training grounds and places for players to stay, so as to alleviate the current overcrowding in Haigeng. Those bosses who are worth hundreds of millions have to squeeze a few people into one room.

In fact, the Haigeng spring training model, which has been criticized by fans in later generations, actually has its advantages.

28 teams spent about a month together, among other things, just looking for friendly matches with opponents to quickly increase the degree of team integration has become a very simple matter, and in such games , getting familiar with not only teammates, but also opponents from other teams. The team's concentrated training will undoubtedly bring benefits to the increase in the overall level of Chinese football.

As for the fact that the real league will become boring if they are too familiar with each other, it is undoubtedly nonsense. Like the giants in Europe, which of their players' characteristics, level, and tactics are not familiar to everyone?People's league is still playing well!

Moreover, this allows the owners of each club to increase interaction, and after getting familiar with it, they can discuss with themselves about the transfer, which virtually reduces the living space for the so-called "middlemen", making the transactions between the teams more transparent. .

Having said that, including all the giants in Europe, don't they always start training camps in a few places with pleasant climate and beautiful scenery before the start of the league?In the early spring of China, there is probably no place with a better climate than Kunming, Yunnan, where Haigeng is located. It can not only promote exchanges between clubs, but also allow players who are not in the same club to get acquainted with each other, and create a unique place for the local area. Fee's income - why not do it.

It is precisely because of this that the annual Haigeng spring training has not been canceled when the physical fitness test exists in name only. Instead, it will become a practice of each club before the start of each season and continue.

********************************************
A league, at the beginning of the season, what is the biggest theme?There is no doubt that it is a transfer.

Strong teams check for omissions and fill vacancies, and make up for the weaknesses in the lineup to the maximum extent. Weak teams also try their best to introduce a few outstanding players to prepare for the goals of the new season.

After the Football Association has relaxed the transfer market, the transfer is much simpler than before. As long as the buyer, the seller, the club and the players negotiate the terms, and then file with the Football Association, it is enough for the clubs and players to go through the middle. He is a genuine agent designated by the Football Association. The player and the club have a contract period. Both the club and the player have a certain degree of initiative in the transfer, and neither the club nor the players suffer too much. loss.

The Chinese league started late, but there are also advantages to being late. The leagues that started early have already figured out the rules and regulations that are suitable for the Chinese league. How many times, like the Football Association of later generations, it is a thankless task to artificially set the transfer amount of a player.

Apart from the joining of the four superstars, Dalian Dongfang is the most popular in the domestic transfer market.

In addition to the introduction of Su Ke and the recall of Zhang Enhua, Dalian Dongfang's President Wang also personally called Pei Wei and asked to transfer to Yunjia Tianyu's Dalian striker Wan Peng.

Wan Peng was originally from the Dalian youth team, but Pei Wei had scooped him up early. However, in Yunjia Tianyu, Wan Peng's position was not stable. He was loaned to Jilin for training at the beginning. The two Yang Tian players returned to Yunjia Tianyu after they went abroad, but they couldn't afford to lose a main position. After getting the news, he himself was a little loose.

Pei Wei agreed after thinking about it for a while. Now Yunjiatianyu's striker line is unprecedentedly strong. The two foreign aids Weah and Adriano should be the main force without any accidents. It is indeed a waste to put the forwards who can play the main force in the A-A team on the bench. In addition, there is Wen Da who is very competent as a substitute, so letting go of Wan Peng will not have a big impact on the team.

Although he agreed to Wanpeng's transfer to Dalian, Pei Wei still killed Mr. Wang. After paying a transfer fee of 310 million, Mr. Wang brought Wanpeng back to Dalian as before.

This year's transfer market is not prosperous. The first reason is that domestic clubs are basically more willing to use the more economical method of finding talents from youth teams to find newcomers, while the lineup of old strong teams has basically stabilized. Some major surgery is necessary, so except for Dalian Dongfang's move is a little bigger, the transfers of other clubs are all small-scale transfers, and there is no big deal.

Until the end of the transfer period, Shanghai Shenhua sold the former main goalkeeper of the national team, Ou Chuliang, to the newly promoted Xiamen team for the largest amount of player transfer. The price was 430 million. "Standard King".

There is also a reason for this situation, that is, this year's two newly promoted teams, Xiamen and Yunnan, do not have much financial resources to buy people frantically and turn the league upside down - like Yunjia in 96 and Chongqing in 97, it will be big if they are promoted. There are very few clubs that spend a lot of money to recruit excellent players. Now the management of Chinese clubs tends to be more rational.

However, although he didn't buy any players, Pei Wei stayed in Haigeng for a long time. That's because taking advantage of Haigeng's spring training, the bosses of the clubs gathered again to discuss some things about this season. , this is also the second meeting with the embryonic form of a professional league after the A-A boss meeting in 1998.
